Just started a new job today. They are already trying bully me into putting outlook and teams on my personal phone stating “what happens if we need you after you have left the office?”. My response was “you can wait until the next business day. I work from 8am to 5pm, there is no need to contact me after hours. I stated in both my interviews that work/life balance is important to me. Furthermore, this is my personal device which is I pay for. I will not be adding company apps or programs to it” . The HR lady goes “that may be a problem”. I just shrugged my shoulders.
I dont live to work. I only work to pay bills nothing more, nothing less. Ive suffered burnout before and I will never let that happen again. Im ready to go back on unemployment already. I hate this life.
EDIT: Thank you for all the comments. I was venting about this to my dad and he said I was just being difficult. Im happy to know that I am not being unreasonable with my reponse. Some of you guys even pointed out the risks associated with allowing them to install programs on my phone that I never even considered.
